New and well- Gifts Enclosed with Clothes Donated British Flood Relief A group of busy women have de- voted themselves for the past ten days to sorting and packing the articles of clothing that have been pouring into the Scout Hall on Athol Street for the isritish flood victims On Tuesday the Home League of the Salvation Army held a "work basket" shower and. the contribu- tions that came in were enough to fill more than four dozen cretonne bags with mending wool and thread buttons, dome Trasteners, needles and pins and a cake of soap or a pocket comb. Besides these mend- ing kits, there were a dozen bags full of baby requirements, Kleenex and baby soap, safety pins and tal- cum powder. These gay bags full of comforting things will be packed into special boxes for babies. Mr, A. J. Graves of the Salvage Department has collected large car- tons from the merchants of the city. They are marked "Babies," which includes garments for infants up to four years of age, "Boys", "Girls", "Men", "Women", "Bedding", "Hats" and "Rubbers". There are also sacks of men's shoes and wo- men's shoes, All the garments are clean, mend- ed and ready to wear. These ener- getic women stop to sew on a dan~ gling button or darn a thin elbow before folding and packing. Clothes that are soiled are sent to local cleaners who are generously clean- ing them free of charge. Clothes that are too worn or are moth eaten are stacked into a rag-bag which is given to the salvage department. Not one thing is destroyed or wasted Nor is this labour of love without its reward. "It's simply wonderful," sald one of the workers in an inter- view yesterday, "to learn how kind and good people really are. We find little gifts tucked in with the clo- thes, maybe in the toe of a shoe and often there is a friendly note of encouragement written on a scrap of paper in a pocket." If you have not already taken in your contribution have it outside on the boulevard by 8 am. on Satur- day when 27 trucks will scour the city, covering 87 miles of streets in order that nothing is left behind.
